Chapter 1700 – The Enemies Arrival II
*****"Don't push me! I can't breathe!""Then stop standing in the doorway!""Who the hell are you telling to move? Look at the crowd!"Shouts erupted from every direction as guests struggled to reach the exits. Some tried to force their way ahead of others, while those near the back desperately pushed forward, terrified that the authorities might lose patience and begin shooting before everyone had escaped.Nobody wanted to be the last person inside the building.The situation quickly deteriorated into complete chaos.The hotel had several elevators, but their number proved woefully inadequate for the hundreds of people trying to evacuate simultaneously.Guests crowded into the elevator lobbies, pressed against one another as they waited for the doors to open. Whenever an elevator arrived, people surged forward, desperate to squeeze inside, regardless of whether there was enough room for everyone.Those already inside found themselves packed so tightly that even lifting an arm became
Chapter 1699 – An Unexpected Commotion
*****At this moment, the entire hotel had been transformed into something straight out of a terrorist nightmare.With armed forces surrounding the building and helicopters hovering overhead, the place looked less like a hotel and more like a battlefield where an entire army had come to hunt down a group of criminals.Powerful searchlights swept across the building, illuminating the windows and balconies as though the authorities were searching for fugitives who might leap out at any moment.Inside the helicopters, snipers kept their weapons trained on the hotel, their fingers resting against the triggers while they waited for the slightest command.On the ground, vehicles were stationed strategically around the building, and heavily armed personnel guarded every possible escape route. Even someone with wings would have struggled to leave unnoticed, and anyone considering digging a tunnel would probably have been halfway through the lobby before realizing how terrible an idea that was
Chapter 1698 – “Am I Really That Ugly?”
*****Mistress Ayra studied Xavier’s expression, searching desperately for a hint of amusement, a teasing smile, or even the slightest indication that he was making a suggestive remark.Surely he couldn't be serious. Surely no man could look at a woman who had just removed her bathrobe to reveal such revealing pajamas and ask her about the temperature.But Xavier's face told her everything she needed to know.He really believed she had taken off the bathrobe because she was feeling hot.Mistress Ayra sat there in stunned silence.For a moment, she even wondered whether the problem lay with her clothes. Perhaps the pajamas weren't as attractive as she had thought, or maybe the lighting was terrible.Her gaze slowly dropped toward herself.The neckline of her pajamas revealed enough of her cleavage to make her cheeks burn, and she knew perfectly well how alluring she looked.She had admired the result in the mirror before leaving her room, and even she had found it difficult to look awa
Chapter 1697 – An Unexpected Visitor
*****Meanwhile, the person standing outside was struggling with a problem far more complicated than knocking on someone's door should ever have been.Mistress Ayra stood in the corridor wearing a large bathrobe, her fingers gripping its edges as she nervously bit her lower lip.The woman who could confidently gather intelligence, command the loyalty of her subordinates, and navigate the dangerous undercurrents of the city was now fighting a private battle against her own nerves.She had faced dangerous people before. She had walked into situations where a single mistake could cost her dearly, and she had never considered herself a coward.Yet somehow, standing outside Xavier's room in the middle of the night made her feel more vulnerable than any of those encounters.‘Honestly, how can Sir Patriarch be so clueless?’She felt a mixture of frustration and embarrassment as she thought about it. Xavier was perceptive when dealing with enemies, suspicious schemes, and complicated situatio
Chapter 1696 – The Easy Bounty
*****At the same time, the two guards waited until Xavier and the others had disappeared into the hotel before exchanging a glance."I'll go relay the order," one of them said.His partner nodded, watching him leave before returning his attention to the entrance.Within moments, he was the only guard standing there, with the quiet hotel corridors stretching behind him and the deserted streets beyond the entrance serving as a reminder of the city's ongoing lockdown.For a while, he maintained his professional expression, appearing every bit the loyal guard entrusted with protecting the hotel. Then, once he was certain nobody was paying particular attention to him, a strange glint flashed across his eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled into a satisfied smile.‘I'd have to be the biggest fool alive to let this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity slip through my fingers!’The thought sent a thrill of excitement through him.He had heard about the enormous rewards being offered for inform
Chapter 1695 – A Frog at the Bottom of the Well
*****In Riverton City, even the head of a mere third-rank family carried himself as though the entire world owed him a bow.As for the patriarchs of first-rank families, the majority of them practically regarded themselves as gods who had graciously descended among mortals.Their arrogance knew no bounds, and anyone unfortunate enough to stand beneath them was expected to remember their place.But here in Beetose City, things were apparently different. A person with enough influence to be considered one of the city's higher-ups could actually serve as a squad leader, behave with remarkable humility, and even make a fool of himself trying to please someone else.Sage Myron, seated beside the driver, couldn't help sighing inwardly as he contemplated the difference.He had spent years in Riverton City, where the hierarchy of the major families seemed to dictate the very order of the world.He had once believed that becoming the patriarch of an A-rank family was an achievement worthy of
